It may sound like science fiction, but it's true. Biologists are already creating synthetic life from scratch. Of course, this raises many questions: what is life? What are the possible applications? And are we on to something here, or are we just playing God?
Here today, to answer all of these questions and more is one of the most influential biologists in the world, Craig Venter!Â
Craig Venter is a world-renowned biotechnologist known for his groundbreaking contributions to genomics. He had a pivotal role in leading the first draft sequence of the human genome and assembling the pioneering team that achieved the transfection of a cell with a synthetic chromosome. Later in his life, he and his research team created the worldâs first synthetic organism from scratch, demonstrating the potential of synthetic biology to engineer life at the molecular level.
In our lively interview, we dive deep into the world of synthetic biology, biological warfare, and engineering synthetic life. Tune in!Â
